this site isn't exactly based off of the real happenings in long island, it's more based off of the fictional peninsulas written in the book the great gatsby, west egg and east egg which were based off of great neck and manhasset neck, respectively. although, the times have changed since the stories in gatsby, there are still lavish parties and scandals along these coasts. the social classes are still prominent in running society. gossip and reputation defines who you are in the eyes of society. it may not be the twenties, but there's still some organized crimes. gambling, illegally imported alcohol and medications, and of course the occasional business fraud. whether you're at the top of the social ladder or the bottom, rich or poor, there's going to be scandals and there's going to be gossip. it's sink or swim out here, will society drown you?
